SPICED CRANBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE WITH ZINFANDEL



Spiced Cranberry-Orange Sauce With Zinfandel image

Ruby red, rich and spicy cranberry sauce with a bright citrus note. A sophisticated blend of flavors! Goes equally well with roast turkey, beef, or ham. Make a batch at T.G., and freeze half for X'mas. Delicious! Note: I reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup of each, and use a tablespoonful of orange zest in place of the strip as we really enjoy the orange flavor. No need to strain the syrup, just scoop out the whole spices. Adapted from Bon Appetit, November 2001.

Categories     Sauce     Christmas     Thanksgiving

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 diced figs
1 cup red wine
1 ¾ cups red Zinfandel
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup (packed) golden brown sugar
6 whole cloves
6 whole allspice
2 cinnamon sticks
3 3x1 strip orange peel
1 10-ounce bag fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • Simmer and steep diced figs in 1 cup of red wine; set aside. Combine all other ingredients EXCEPT cranberries in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar sidles. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 ¾ cups, about 10 minutes. Strain syrup into large saucepan. Add cranberries and figs (with red wine) to syrup and cook over medium heat until berries burst, about 6 minutes. Cool. Transfer sauce to medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated).

Tips:

  • For maximum flavor, use fresh cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a dry red wine, such as Zinfandel, for the sauce. A dry wine will not overpower the other flavors in the sauce.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to the sauce for a warm and festive flavor.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, reduce it over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve the sauce warm over pork, chicken, or turkey. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers.

Conclusion:

This spiced cranberry and Zinfandel sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used for a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
